Kennedy emphasized that civil rights was a matter of morality and ethics and that it was everyone's responsibility.

On the day of his assassination, John F. Kennedy was not in Texas by chance. In deciding to attend a political event there in 1963, he knew he needed to pay special attention to the state if he wanted to win re-election. The motive: the bill introduced that year against racial discrimination that would alienate virtually the entire South of the country to the Democratic Party, whose electoral base was there. And Kennedy foresaw that. He did not see his Civil Rights Act passed, which occurred with his successor, Lyndon Johnson, on July 2, 1964. However, the initiative put an end to various racial segregation systems in the United States and one of the president's main legacies, albeit at a very high price for the Democratic Party.

This would be false. His letter basically is about nonviolent resistance. It doesn't really have anything to do with President Kennedy, and it's talking about unjust laws, and to take direct action instead of using violence.

How was President Theodore Roosevelt similar to Robert La Follette in terms of policy priorities?

kodGreya [7K]

Both leaders enacted reform that protected individuals from problems caused by private business. This was one of Teddy Roosevelt’s most important policies. Roosevelt believed in giving America a “Square Deal” which including controlling corporations and putting into place consumer protection laws. Laws like the Meat Inspection Act ensured that companies that made had sanitary working conditions and produced food that was edible for the American public. La Follette had similar policies and ideas, as he was also a member of the progressive party ( just like Teddy Roosevelt ).
